Red Hat Container Development Kit 3.0

We are pleased to announce the general availability of Red Hat Container Development Kit (CDK) 3.0.

CDK 3.0 is based on Minishift, a CLI tool to provision and interact with a local single-node OpenShift cluster.

CDK 3.0 is a significant update to CDK 2.0 and aims to provide better usability and user experience. CDK 3.0 takes advantage of the native hypervisors on Windows (Hyper-V), macOS (Xhyve), and RHEL (KVM) and it also works with VirtualBox on all platforms.

In CDK, Minishift starts a RHEL7 virtual machine and provisions a single node OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster on top of it. The VM also runs a docker daemon that can be used on the host machine.
